Answer: There are 5 pieces of wood that can be cut from board.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Length of board = [tex]1\dfrac{7}{8}=\dfrac{15}{7}\ feet[/tex]
Length of pieces of wood that cut from board = [tex]\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex]
So, Number of pieces of wood would be
[tex]\dfrac{\text{Length of board}}{\text{Length of pieces of wood}}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{15}{8}}{\dfrac{3}{8}}\\\\=\dfrac{15}{3}\\\\=5[/tex]
Hence, there are 5 pieces of wood that can be cut from board.
